If you want empty rhetoric and business as usual, there are many Republicans to choose from. But I believe it's time we burn the corrupt Washington political machine to the ground and rebuild America before it's too late!

Some Republican presidential candidates want to abolish Medicare, slash Social Security and tell American seniors to "get over it" when it comes to cutting their benefits. They want to rob seniors of their benefits and give them a worthless healthcare voucher instead. Let me be clear: raising the retirement age and slashing Medicare benefits for seniors who have been working for decades is theft! We have enough muggers in the streets without the government becoming one!

The use of the Article five by the States to combat the tyranny of the Federal Government is why States have a system to bypass congress to change the Constitution. Problem is in the process of such execution of a convention.

The fear of a runaway convention is very real. It is also not necessary to fear if the process of calling for convention is done correctly Mr. Harris who is the founder of the article five convention summit speaks to it:

If the States legislate a call for convention with limitations on their delegate(s), should the convention goes rogue, the delegates are immediately recalled. In Michigan, the language of the calling Bill states that Governor Snyder has complete power over the delegate. That is a recipe for disaster and must be resolved before any step forward.

I just want to alert you to an Email I just received from the Michigan Tenth Amendment Center. It is about a bill pending in the State House called SB 306, which is the Article V Convention of States resolution. This Email is trying to encourage you to call these legi- slators and convince them to vote no on SB 306. It claims that SB 306 will use tax dollars to promote the Convention of States. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The Convention of States initiative is sponsored by Citizens for Self Governance. The goal of CSG is to convince 34 state legislatures to vote YES on the Article V Convention of States in order to limit the power of the federal government. We have over $18 trillion in debt. Our military has been cut to dangerous levels. Social spending is skyrocketing. Our federal government is out of control. You probably know this as well as I do. The call of the con-vention is to limit power in Washington, cut its out-of-control spending, and limit the terms of its officeholders. There's nothing wrong with that.

I was the Coalitions Director of Michigan for this movement. I'm glad to see that it's making progress in the Michigan Legislature. So I want you to call the legislators below and actu-ally encourage them to vote YES on SB 306. Call it my version of political jujitsu. Your country will thank you for it.

I would like to alert you of a menace that has been brought to my attention. The Lansing gangsters are trying to rob us to lobby for a dangerous scheme, the Article V convention, in different states. Thanks to Matthew Schoech of Traverse Bay 9.12 for the tip on this one:

SB306 would have Michigan enter into a compact that would facilitate the usage of Michigan taxpayer funds to lobby for an Article V convention in other states. Please call the members of the House Financial Liability Reform Committee, and urge them to vote NO on SB306:
